I am using rsync and crontab to perform scheduled backups on FreeBSD AMD64 Rel. 7.0 I am following process described here for rsync : http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/examples.html
I have a backup script's created for daily, weekly, monthly. This is one example - the daily (/backup is a seperate physical drive) : #daily backup script rsync -a --delete /usr/home/data/Access/ /backup/daily/Access rsync -a --delete /usr/home/data/Templates/ /backup/daily/Templates rsync -a --delete /usr/home/QBdata/ /backup/daily/QBdata rsync -a --delete /usr/home/reception1/ /backup/daily/reception1 rsync -a --delete /usr/home/reception2/ /backup/daily/reception2 rsync -a --delete /usr/home/reception3/ /backup/daily/reception3 rsync -a --delete /usr/home/data/Files/ /backup/daily/Files All files created where chmod'd with +x, then I test the scripts by running them manually and all three, daily, weekly & monthly work fine. FInal step, I add to root crontab, by using : crontab -e I added following lines : 1 23 30 * * /usr/local/sbin/backup/monthly 1 21 * * 0 /usr/local/sbin/backup/weekly 1 23 * * 1-5 /usr/local/sbin/backup/daily crontab -l shows all is OK as well. But the scheduled backups never happen. I must be doing something wrong, but can't figure out what. All help would be gratefully appreciated.
